SkillOnNet has announced a strategic partnership with ClearStake to streamline enhanced due diligence (EDD) and source of funds processes across its portfolio of brands, including PlayOJO.

The collaboration leverages ClearStake’s bank-based verification technology, replacing manual, document-heavy checks with real-time assessments and automated workflows. This approach reduces operational burden, accelerates decision-making, and creates a smoother experience for players.

ClearStake’s platform incorporates a gambling-specific intelligence layer, allowing operators to configure which checks to request, when to request them, and how to automate outcomes. The rollout is initially focused on the UK, with plans to extend into additional regulated markets globally.

Eyal Naor, COO of SkillOnNet, said: “Enhanced due diligence is central to sustainable growth in regulated markets. ClearStake allows us to strengthen controls while improving speed and consistency across the player journey.”

Martin Burt, CEO of ClearStake, added: “EDD is a core revenue, risk, and operational challenge for operators. Our platform optimizes these processes, enabling faster, better decisions without relying on manual document checks.”

This partnership highlights a broader trend in the industry, where operators are increasingly adopting automated verification solutions to protect margins, scale efficiently, and maintain compliance in demanding regulatory environments. Recent deployments of ClearStake by other leading UK brands underscore its growing adoption across the market.

Hollywoodbets has agreed to integrate ClearStake’s ID by Bank solution as the operator looks to streamline and enhance its customer due diligence (CDD) processes.

Through the partnership, Hollywoodbets customers in the United Kingdom will soon be able to verify their identity within seconds using their banking app, removing the need to manually upload identity documents.

ClearStake’s technology is also proven to significantly reduce the operational workload associated with CDD checks.

Tyla Labuschagne, Compliance Manager at Hollywoodbets, said: “Customer due diligence is a critical part of operating responsibly. By integrating ClearStake’s ID by Bank solution, we can make identity verification faster and more intuitive for customers, while significantly reducing the manual workload for our teams. This allows us to improve compliance outcomes, streamline operations and remove friction at key moments in the player journey.”

Martin Burt, CEO of ClearStake, added: “One of the biggest challenges operators face is completing customer due diligence efficiently without creating unnecessary friction for customers or operational teams. By enabling customers to verify their identity securely through their banking app via ID by Bank, operators like Hollywoodbets can complete CDD checks in seconds, reduce reliance on manual document reviews and strengthen compliance outcomes.”

Independent bookmaker Star Sports has partnered with ClearStake to enhance its player verification and compliance procedures using secure bank-driven verification technology.

The collaboration will enable Star Sports to incorporate ClearStake’s newly-introduced ID by Bank solution.

The product enables users to confirm their identity in seconds through their banking app, eliminating the requirement for document submissions and manual assessments. It results in a notable rise in the success rate of verification processes, which consequently boosts the number of depositing players while decreasing fraud and operational costs.

Star Sports will utilize ClearStake’s current affordability and source of funds technology.

Flynn Goward, Managing Director of Star Sports, said: “We’re always looking for ways to make the player journey smoother without compromising on compliance. ClearStake’s technology gives us exactly that balance. It’s been simple to integrate and we’re already seeing faster verification and fewer hurdles for genuine customers.”

Martin Burt, CEO of ClearStake, added: “Star Sports is one of the most recognised and trusted betting brands in the UK, so we’re thrilled to be helping them enhance their verification processes. By adopting ID by Bank alongside our affordability and source of funds tools, they’re setting the benchmark for what modern player verification should look like.”

ID by Bank has been implemented by several other major UK operators in recent weeks and is transforming the way operators authenticate players online, resulting in significantly improved pass rates, lowered operational costs and fraud, as well as enhanced FTD conversion rates.
